10/12/2018 Updates:

1. +Living Artifact / -Island -- I still have not run into mana screw with this deck over the past month, and having a one mana enchantment which can turn on the Chain Veil combo without needing to minus Estrid first on the same turn is a cleaner line to getting her to 7 loyalty so I can ultimate her and start chaining recasts for her without needing a sac outlet.

09/13/2018 Updates:

1. +Dryad Militant / -Relic of Progenitus -- The deck still needs graveyard hate, but Flash-Hulk variants in my local meta have been leaning more on Dread Return to go off, and some have started cutting backup lines for more interaction. Militant also completely hoses Kess variants in my local meta for a low opportunity cost.

08/27/2018 Updates:

1. +Blue Sun's Zenith / -Ponder -- I haven't felt particularly confident with the 1 CMC blue cantrips; the deck's consistency at low CMCs is good enough that setting up my first few turns is less of an issue than running out of gas after getting Estrid and tax effects online. BSZ offers a way to reload mid-game after I'm able to comfortably generate a ton of extra mana but I'm still digging for The Chain Veil or act as another win-con when I'm generating infinite mana off of Estrid + Chain Veil. If I find consistency in early games is hurting too much, I may risk the tempo hit and play a cycling land in place of one of the basic Forests.

08/24/2018 Updates:

1. +Cyclonic Rift / -Counterbalance -- Counterbalance has proven a little too hard to set up with Estrid and doesn't do as good of a job at protecting the combo turn as I would've liked; Rift becomes relevant much more often and can be absolutely crippling if it resolves with a tax effect or two on the field. Rift is also a great outlet for huge amounts of mana off of a JVP activation.

2. +Vessel of Nascency / -Flickering Ward -- Flickering Ward is an easy way to spend infinite mana with Blind Obedience, but Vessel of Nascency has more play early. If I can start chaining together Estrid ultimates, Vessel goes infinite as well.
